DON'T YOU WEEP, DON'T YOU MOAN

A book for the Julia Peterkin market:- the story of Lasses, come to Charleston from a little island, and of her stormy romance with Tator, against the background of negro life in Charleston. Tater's bondage to Crissy, Lasses ""pleasurin' herself"" where she can, dances, parties, church socials, local color convincing and at no time patronizing; negro characters never held up to laughter, but aboundingly vital. Good tale.
